BioTerakaft is a Tishoumaren (Desert Blues) band from Mali, formed in 2001 by formed by former members of the Tinariwen band. Founding members included guitarist Kedou Ag Ossad and bassist Liya Ag Ablil. Like Tinariwen, Terakaft's music is deeply rooted in the struggles and experiences of the Tuareg people, who have long faced political and cultural marginalization in Mali and other parts of the Saharan region. The band's name, Terakaft, means "caravan" in the Tamasheq language, and reflects the nomadic roots of the Tuareg people. Terakaft has released several albums, including "Bismilla: The Bko Sessions" in 2010, "Aratan N Azawad" in 2011, and "Alone" in 2015. The band has also toured extensively around the world, earning a reputation as one of the most exciting and innovative bands in the desert blues genre.
